If you were the owner of a small company and you have two employees who look identical on paper, but one seems to be jumping ship frequently in order to get higher salaries and one seems to be sticking with the same company for years, who are you going to hire?
If I'm giving advice to job seekers, I'd say move around enough to get good salary increases, but don't do it too frequently or potential employers will start to see it as a red flag.
If I'm giving advice to hiring managers, I'd say hire great people, but keep in mind that the best people often get bored or want salary increases, so they tend to move around. If you see someone who has moved around very frequently in the past, then there's certainly a good chance they'll be moving again in the near future.

Companies only see short term, not long term. There is also no guarantee of company loyalty. If the street doesn't go both ways which should the impetus always be on the employee to remain loyal. It's a business contract that should benefit both parties. I've increase my pay to over 5 times what I was making just 5 years ago by changing jobs. Should I feel bad about that? I'd love a company that paid me well and treated the relationship like a two way street. In fact any time I've left it's when the company lost respect for my work, not the work I've put in for the company. I've only been fired 1 time in my life and it was odious and not due to my performance but due to me not accepting public scoldings for things that I had literally no ability to control after a management change.
